The microbial landscape of wounds with suppurative-necrotic complications in diabetic foot syndrome (DFS) was investigated. Capabilities by inhibiting the formation of bacterial biofilms using ultrasonic cavitation (USC) were determined. In 32 patients over the purulent necrotic complications DFS USC applied using the apparatus "Sonoca-180" company Soring (Germany), 20 patients performed a basic therapy. Qualitative and quantitative composition of microflora were determined by the results of microbiological investigations using parallel transmission electron microscopy dynamics with USC. In patients with DFS noted the formation of bacterial biofilms that contained clusters of microorganisms in a polysaccharide matrix and were fixed to the wound surface. In the microbial landscape of wounds dominated gram-negative microorganisms. Application of USC contributed to the rapid cleanse wounds.

Physical, chemical, and dual modifications can all significantly affect the digestibility of isolated rice granules, while their effects on the starch digestibility of whole cooked rice grains remain elusive. Therefore, the impact of malic acid, ultrasound, and ultrasound + malic acid dual treatment on the starch digestibility of cooked rice grains with different starch molecular structures was investigated in this study. Ultrasound mainly caused cavitation on the surface of rice grains, promoting the leaching of materials (> 11 %) and amylose during cooking.

Acoustic cavitation is a cutting-edge and eco-friendly advanced oxidation technology with significant efficacy in removing organic pollutants from water. Despite its potential, research on the degradation of o-cresol, a common and challenging phenolic pollutant, is limited. This study systematically investigates the optimal conditions for degrading o-cresol via acoustic cavitation and evaluates its application potential through extensive pilot tests.

The formation of flavor in traditional Chinese rice wine requires a long aging process. To accelerate the maturation of rice wine, a 20 L scale multi-sweeping- frequency mode ultrasonic reactor was employed in this study to explore the promoting effects. Rice wines were subjected under 10 combined types of sonication treatments with 20/28/40 kHz in single/double/triple frequencies, and in fixed or sweeping modes, respectively.

Hydride (H) species on oxides have been extensively studied over the past few decades because of their critical role in various catalytic processes. Their syntheses require high temperatures and the presence of hydrogen, which involves complex equipment, high energy costs, and strict safety protocols. Hydride species tend to decompose in the presence of atmospheric oxygen and water, which reduces their catalytic activities.
